Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea
2516 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“This take-out focused Taiwanese tea shop wins hearts with authentically sourced local ingredients and remarkably chewy, perfectly balanced boba that keeps regulars coming back. Beyond their celebrated fruit teas, their brown sugar milk tea and creative matcha drinks showcase a thoughtful approach to flavor combinations, though the menu's extensive variety means some experimentation might be needed to find your perfect order. It's a bit pricey, but the quality of their drinks and the quick self-ordering kiosk system make it worth a stop if you're craving genuinely excellent traditional Taiwanese tea culture.”

Super delicious fruit, tea, and the other drink choices. This is an authentic Taiwanese tea with a lot of Taiwanese local ingredients. I strongly recommended if you want to try true and authentic Taiwanese tea.
Stopped by after touring UC Berkeley. A little pricey. 4 drinks and 2 orders of the egg pancake was $44. There are 2 self order kiosks. We were the only ones there so everything was done in 5-7 minutes. The menu states the egg pancakes can be 10-15 minutes. Drinks were good. Boba was still warm. It is nice and chewy. The egg pancake is a like a pancake/waffle with a Mochi like texture. Nothing inside which is what we prefer. There is no seating but you can go across the street and find a place outside to sit on campus.
This is a Taiwanese style boba tea place. It's very popular and it's take out only. There is good variety of milk and fruit tea and they are quite good.
Superior boba (tapioca pearls). They were soft with the perfect amount of chewiness and sweetness. The smoothie drink portion is interesting. I didn’t quite find a right combination. I had a matcha with almond milk mix, which wasn’t good on my part because although the taste was nice, it was a bit thick. Also tried, the Yifang fruit tea. It has actual slices of fruit in it so it wasn’t my taste and took up space. They also had passion fruit seeds in it that were a bit crunchy. I definitely need to go back and give it another go.
This is the best boba place ive even been to. They are well known for the fruit teas but personally i love their brown sugar milk tea. The boba is also very chewy. If you love sugarcane, they have sugarcane milk for u to try. Also try their wintermelon drink
